Call over interaction

Post by kkaizer » March 15th, 2019, 7:08 pm

Is there a way i can make “call over” interaction and “go here with...” interaction always available when two sims are on the same lot?
sometimes it is and sometimes it’s not. I just want to make inactive sims come to where my active sim is...i think the game thinks that the sims that I’m using those interactions with are too close to each other to use those interactions. But they are on the different floors!!

The Call Over interaction is gated by what your sim is (or is not) doing at the time and the distance between your sim and the target sim you are clicking upon. If your sim is just finishing up doing something that is just clearing from their action queue, depending on what it is, sometimes letting the clock run for a second (a sim minute) makes the interaction appear again. I can't remember if it matters what the target sim is doing.

Not sure if the distance requirement is straight line or through pathing, but I found that using Retuner to increase the range of that command by quite a large amount doesn't necessarily extend across entire lots all of the time, depending on how large the lots are, but it helps make the command appear and be viable in many cases where it otherwise isn't. I'll have to find the setting later when I can, unless you can find it in the master ITUN file.

Go Here With, do you mean to a different lot from where they are now?

The Members' Retuner Settings page has settings to increase the range of the Call Over interaction. I've used them. They help, but the interaction still isn't always available.

Grepping the FullEATuning file shows some settings that seem like they would do something similar for Go Here With.
General > By Tunable XML > Sims3.Gameplay.Core > Terrain+GoHereWith:
  • kGoHereWithOnLotAvailableDistance
  • kGoHereWithOffLotAvailableDistance
  • kMaxDistanceForGoHereWith
  • kLikingValueToBeEligibleForGoHereWith
The last one could have an impact if you're in the habit of trying to get strangers to go places with you.

The usual disclaimers apply for the Go Here With settings.

This may help with that: "Go Here With..." Interactions Made Available Always

It's a mod created by SpinningPlumbobs over at Mod the Sims and I imagine it includes the settings stated below by Tropical Insomniac. I haven't actually opened the mod myself and checked whether it does or not but it seems to be working as intended in my game. :-)

Igazor. I meant using go here with when they are in the same lot. I think go here with to the different lot works just fine.

Thank you torpical and sarah!! I will try those out!! Hope it works!! You guys are awesome. :)

I'm not Iggy, but I can answer that question. :-)

Scroll to the top of this page in your browser, click "Upload" in the upper right, then look for FullEATuning_P163.zip.

So you know, there are tunable settings which aren't listed in that file. However, to modify those settings you need to make a tuning mod. (Which isn't hard to do, if you can find the setting you want to tune.)
